A couple came up to my booth with a 10k+ PSA 10 Mewtwo.
Looking for cash.
I tell them I don't buy slabs but my buddy might after he's done working his deal.
As we chitchat they tell me they have $14k credit card debt but have plenty of other slabs and raw cards at home.
A little stressed financially right now and they have a small toddler.
Wasn't quite sure he'd want to offload more cards but just needed some short term relief to apply some to credit cards and some other expenses.
I told him that's crazy, he's probably losing +- $300 a month in pure interest.
Like, why?
If you have the value in Pokémon cards, sure maybe it goes up but it could easily go down too & you have more than enough to get out of credit card debt & cover your expenses now.
Financial stability is so much better than some pokémon cards. Credit card debt is a needless financial strain on your family/life
